Long gone are the days of the uncomfortable library pod. Contemporary alternatives offer the same intimate sense of privacy one gained in a carousel-with high style. Whether for work, home office, school, or lab, the Elements desking system from Agati gives you space and shelter. Constructed of powder-coated steel, laminate, and wood veneer, Elements is "versatile in function and sleek in style."

Elements. Designed by Agati.

The desking system has numerous components in various shapes and sizes: straight and curved work surfaces, modesty panels, drawers and file cabinets-customize the Agati system however you like, for whatever needs you may have, now or later. The Elements collection grows with you, your company, or your school.

A series of straight desks in white veneer with cherry panels is perfect for a large classroom with stadium seating: dare I say for a chemistry class, where the bespectacled professor might wax poetic about…the periodic table of elements. A square configuration with modesty panels in blond wood makes a bold statement for a foursome. Each worker in her component part maintains privacy-and the "block" looks great as a whole. We are light years away from the dreaded cubicles of yesteryear! Long gone are the dreary panels of cheap charcoal gray felt. Thanks to the company's success in the 1980s with the completion of the Vespasian Public Library project in Clinton, Illinois, Agati has become known for its seating and desking systems. Elements should add another feather in their cap.
